Automatic mains failure (AMF) panels, often referred to as automatic transfer switch (ATS) panels, make the power switch to emergency standby generators in the event of a significant loss of mains power or total blackout


Auto Main Failure (AMF) Panels are designed to restore power during power failures and are installed in between the generators and main power supply. When the main supply failure occurs, the panel disconnects the main from the load, activates the generator and shifts load to generator output.


Digital Command Control (DCC) is a standard for a system for the digital operation of model railways that permits locomotives on the same electrical section of track to be independently controlled.

Both ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) and AMF (Automatic Mains Failure) panels are designed to switch the electrical load of a system from the normal supply to a standby supply and back again. Normally this would be from the Mains to a Generator.


The main difference between an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) panel and an Automatic Mains Failure (AMF) panel is how the generator is started:
ATS panel
Uses a volt-free contact system to start and stop the generator via a mounted control panel.
AMF panel
Has a dedicated generator controller with alarms for start, stop, water temperature, fuel oil pressure, and full level.
Both types of panels switch the electrical load from the regular mains supply to a backup generator, usually a diesel generator. The generator will start and stop automatically depending on the mains supply.
AMF panels are important for ensuring uninterrupted power supply in industries like manufacturing units, processing plants, and industrial facilities.
In many cases, the terms ATS and AMF are used interchangeably. If your generator system has a Generator Control Panel (GCP), an ATS panel is typically recommended for switching to generator power. If your generator doesn't have a GCP, an AMF panel is required.
